Comedian David Cross said earlier this week in a stand-up routine that he pulled a major no-no at the White House Correspondents' Dinner earlier this year, snorting cocaine while he was "super close to the president" and other White House higher-ups seated near him on a dare from a friend.

Cross said in a stand-up routine Wednesday that he one-upped a friend in a competition to be the most outrageous by pulling out the drug during the annual White House press gala, Politico reported, as the comedian snorted coke just "40 feet" from the leader of the free world.

Cross said he attended the gala because his "fancy Hollywood actress girlfriend," 24-year-old Amber Tamblyn of "Joan of Arcadia" and "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" fame, got an invite to the ceremony.

No word on whether the stunt was real -- but Cross claimed in the stand-up routine he had evidence to prove he was telling the truth.
